User Manual

Calibration

Select the Calibration Tab. For the first time use, confirm that there is no data entered into the

readings. If there is, tick the Restore Factory Defaults box then press the Submit button to apply this

setting.

Transfer Configuration to Logger

The configuration will be sent to the logger automatically ( typically less than 10 minutes ) through the

tablet / phone running the Xtract Application. To apply this immediately, press the 'SERVER SYNC'

button in the Settings screen. Once the button has been pressed the time below the button will

display the word 'Never', then once synced, it will change to a valid time.

Select the History screen in the Xtract Application to view the logger name(s) entered for the

Odyssey

Xtreem logger(s).

The next time the tablet / phone sees the logger, it will connect to it and automatically apply the

settings.

User Calibration

Equipment:



Fine tip waterproof marker pen.



Tablet / Phone with internet connection.



Tape measure.

Note: It is best to calibrate on-site using the water and environment that the logger will be used in. As

the logger is a very sensitive instrument keep it at least 10m away from any electrical noise source

including fluorescent lights.

Bottom Up Calibration

To provide a calibrated value that is increasing from the bottom of the sensor upward, (as would be

required for surface catchments), the bottom of the counter weight is used as the zero reference point

(this is the method described in this instruction).

Top Down Calibration

If the sensor is used in a bore and the water levels are required as a measurement from the top of

the bore down to the water level, then the sensor should be calibrated from the top down.

Remove the top cap from the logger and use the point where the top cap meets the logger housing

as the zero reference point. Follow the instructions described below but use this as the reference

point instead of the bottom of the counter weight.

Obtaining User Calibration Values

1. On the Teflon sensor cable gently mark two points using a fine tip waterproof marker. The first

point should be 200mm up from the bottom of the counter weight and second marked at the

point that is equal to the specified length of the sensor. For example, if the sensor is 2m then
